Strange looking stick is alive - Catherine - 04-24-2025 A woman noticed a strange looking stick on her porch. When she examined it, it turned out to be alive. It is a very well disguised caterpillar. It is probably the larva of an Oak Beauty Moth. https://www.thedodo.com/daily-dodo/woman-spots-a-strange-stick-on-her-porch-then-realizes-its-alive I think she is right about what it is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypomecis_roboraria I would love to see something like this. It really does look like a stick. I am going to have to look at sticks more closely. You never know when it might turn out to be more than a stick. Nature is amazing.
